Mountain Miscellaneous

Chapter 38
"What's your name?"

"Li Sixiu!"

"Tell the teacher, what kind of person do you want to be in the future?"

"I want to be a singer!"

"I have ideals, have you seen that little white flower?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Transplant that little flower tree next to the willow tree planted by Li Jin. If the flower can survive, you can become a singer in the future!"

More than 90 students in Lijiaao planted willow branches or transplanted a small flower in Xijian.

Rows of emerald green willow branches and delicate mountain flowers grow on the edge of Xijian. This is the hope planted in the wilderness!
"Whoever cuts willow trees or transplanted small flowers survives, the teacher will tell him the secret of making his dreams come true!"

The seeds of hope have been planted, Li Changqing said to the students very warmly, with a kind of detached self-confidence in his voice.

Planting flowers will not succeed, planting willows and willows unintentionally will make shade.

The original intention is to make great efforts to do something but fail, and to do things inadvertently and get good results very smoothly.

It is the embodiment of the Taoist thought of purity and inaction, but it can also be seen from the side that the willow tree has a strong vitality.

In fact, cutting willow branches requires a lot of preparatory work, and the survival rate of directly inserting willow branches in the ground is not high.

Li Changqing's narration is exactly the opposite of Taoism's explanation. If you plant flowers with your heart, the flowers will bloom, but if you plant willows carelessly, you will not succeed.

Children in the mountains who want to realize their dreams are like planting flowers with heart, and the probability of success is even slimmer than others.

But is everything in the world difficult or easy?

If you do it, what is difficult is also easy; if you don't, what is easy is also difficult.

Li Changqing wants the children to understand that nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart.

"Do you know what Principal Li wants to express?" Shen Ruolin asked Meng Yuncheng.

"Probably understand!" Meng Yuncheng thought about it.

"Hehe, Principal Li is really a special person!" Shen Ruolin laughed.

When the students go back, they always think about the willow branches or flowers they planted, because that is their dream!
"Haha, Brother Qing, you're so funny! The first thing I did when I took office was to take the students to plant trees and flowers..."

Li Hongdou saw Li Changqing returning from Xijian with his students in the health center, and said to Li Changqing from a distance.

"Next time, brother will bring you!" Li Changqing said with a smile.

"Hmph, I'm not going!" Li Hongdou said.

Li Changqing often passes by Lijiaao Primary School, but this time the feeling is different.

Looking at the uneven dirt playground, the five-star red flag hanging directly on the bamboo pole.

The mottled lime walls that are in disrepair for a long time, and the pairs of eyes eager for knowledge on the broken tables and chairs.

Li Changqing took the students who had already planted the seeds of Dao. In the future, careful irrigation can spread his Dao farther!

Meng Yuncheng is teaching the students, explaining the Chinese textbooks of ordinary standard nine-year compulsory education.

"Snapped!"

The table of a boy with a fat body and simple and honest appearance suddenly fell apart, making a loud noise.

"Haha, the stone crushed the table again!"

"Shitou, this table of yours is no longer usable, let your father ask Grandpa Dajiang to make a new table!"

"Yuehu, your table is creaking all day long, and sooner or later it will fall apart!"

……

The classroom suddenly became lively, and the students were joking with each other.

"Li Dashi, Li Yuehu, move your desk out, and the teacher will repair it for you!"

After returning from Xijian, Li Changqing was able to call out the names of each student, just passing by the door of the classroom, and said when he saw it.

"Ms. Li, can you still repair tables?" Shen Ruolin asked Li Hongdou when she heard the noise.

Usually there is nothing to do in the health center, Li Hongdou is relatively free, as long as Shen Ruolin is not in class, the two will chat together.

"Sister Shen, Brother Qing is a serious carpenter, he was personally taught by my father!" Li Hongdou laughed.

"Carpentry is very simple as long as you master the skills, and these tables can still be used after repairing!" Li Changqing said.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and she can't do without tools and materials. Li Changqing went to find Li Dajiang.

"Second uncle, borrow something!" Li Changqing said when he came to Li Dajiang's small workshop.

"Take whatever you want!" Li Dajiang said casually as he was busy with work.

"Okay!"

Li Changqing returned to Lijiaao Primary School with some tools and materials on his back.

With a loud bang, the broken wooden table was restored again, and it was even more solid than before.

"Stone, come and try!" Li Changqing said with a smile.

"Hey, all right!"

Li Dashi put his elbows on the table and moved back and forth, but the table remained motionless and said excitedly.

"Brother Qing, you can do this skill!" Li Hongdou also went up to try it out.

"Ms. Li, there are still some broken tables in the classroom..." Shen Ruolin said with a smile.

"Yuehu, go and see who else has a broken table, and help move them out!" Li Changqing said to the burly Li Yuehu.

"Yeah, teacher." Li Yuehu nodded excitedly, feeling that he had been entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

"Qingwa, your craftsmanship is no worse than that of your second uncle. Our village committee has some broken tables, why don't you repair them together?"

Li Jianguo came over from the office of the village committee, looking eagerly.

"Haha, Uncle Jianguo, you should find my second uncle!" Li Changqing said with a smile.

As the sun went down, Li Changqing was almost done with his work.

"Teacher Li, you've worked hard!" Shen Ruolin gave Li Changqing a cup of tea.

"You can learn a lot of truths by doing carpentry, and you don't feel bitter!" Li Changqing said with a smile.

"I heard that you raised a lot of chickens in the mountains and grew a lot of vegetables, are you busy?" Shen Ruolin asked curiously.

"It's okay, but I prefer tranquility, so the things in the school mainly depend on you!"

Li Changqing's education method is to plant seeds in the hearts of students, and does not want to involve some specific details.

"If you have your own business, you can go to it. There are not many students in the school, and the current model is also possible!"

Meng Yuncheng felt the indifference and tranquility from Li Changqing, and said very understandingly.

"From tomorrow onwards, students will be organized for morning reading, and I will lead the reading!" Li Changqing said.

"Okay!" Meng Yuncheng was also very curious about how Li Changqing's book could be read.

"Mr. Li, Director Gu can personally invite you to give lectures in the county. I'm looking forward to it!" Shen Ruolin said.

"I can only read a few books..." Li Changqing said modestly.

Standing on the top of the back mountain and looking at the verdant Zhong Nanshan, I remembered the scene when I was studying in Guoditang for the first time.

From that day on, Li Changqing found himself deeply in love with this mountain!

Although there are lovely children in Lijiaao Primary School, it is also the place where I sow the seeds of my ideas.

But Li Changqing still prefers Zhong Nanshan's own world, and he feels a little nostalgic after leaving for a long time.
